The surface area of the triangular prism is 5250 square cm
Calculating the surface area of the triangular prism.
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
The Triangular Prism.
The total area of the Triangular Prism can be calculated using the following formula
Surface Area = Bl + bh
Where
B = Perimeter of the triangle
l = Length of the prism
b = base of the triangle
h = height of the triangle
From the figures, we have:
B = (24 + 37 + 37) = 98 cm
l = 45 cm
b = 24 cm
h = 35 cm
Using the above as a guide, we have the following:
Surface area = 35 * 24 + 98 * 45
Surface Area = 840 + 4410
Evaluate
Surface area = 5250
Hence. the total area of the figure is 5250 square cm
